Figure 4 Prostaglandin E₂ levels in rats with acetic acid-induced gastric ulcers treated for 14 d with vehicle, lansoprazole, or hydroalcoholic extract from the leaves of Eugenia punicifolia. The results are expressed as mean ± standard error of the mean in each group (n = 6-8). Statistical significance was determined using one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett's test. ^aP < 0.05 and ^bP < 0.001 vs vehicle in males; Ns: not significant; HEEP: Hydroalcoholic extract from the leaves of Eugenia punicifolia; PGE₂: Prostaglandin E₂.
